The work generally consists of furnishing and installing a new 30' wide x 26' long x 18' high pole building structure, complete in place, at the Borough of Minersville’s prepared site. The structure shall be suitable for municipal salt storage use and shall include all labor, materials, equipment, delivery, erection, fasteners, accessories, cleanup, and incidentals necessary for a complete installation.

The structure shall provide a minimum 12' interior wall height.
The salt shed shall generally include a post-frame or approved equivalent building structure, metal roof and siding panels, treated wood or other durable wall protection suitable for salt storage conditions, and an open-front configuration suitable for Borough equipment access. The interior of the structure shall remian free of cross beams or trusses to the maximum extent possible.
The Borough of Minersville will perform demolition of the existing salt shed structure. Demolition of the existing structure shall not be included in the Bid. The Contractor shall notify the Borough at least two (2) weeks in advance of the planned start of construction so the Borough can complete demolition and removal of materials from the work area prior to construction.
The Contractor shall be responsible for providing a complete, code-compliant structure suitable for the intended use, including permits and engineered/sealed drawings if required by the authority having jurisdiction.
The project must be completed by September 30, 2026.
